Rule the world 1,000 years early in this epic time-travel strategy game!
An army leaps back a millennium to dominate the past, only to find their primitive adversaries full of surprises. Lead a global resistance with hundreds of warriors from diverse cultures. Take direct control of a single hero or command entire armies from a strategic view. This game masterfully blends grand world-conquering strategy with hands-on, interactive battles for the ultimate experience. And just when you think victory is yours, history might have other plans…
UPGRADES
While the core game is free, upgrades let you tailor your campaign. Choose your starting side and territory size. Unleash fantasy battles between any two cultures with as many warriors as your device can handle. You can also edit every character in the world—though be aware the game actively uses up to 1,000 characters that are regularly refreshed.
CONTROLS
When controlling an individual character, choose between the one-handed "Classic" scheme or the "Dual Wield" system for independent hand control. New to the series? Pause anytime by hitting the dateline to review the "Controls" guide. Also, watch for in-game hints from discoverable scrolls and books.
Switch control between team members instantly by tapping their health bar or pointing at them on the battlefield. Use the arrows at the bottom to enter "Commander" mode: step back and direct any ally by swiping from their position to a target. They’ll attempt your command—be it moving, attacking, or interacting—but they’ll act on their own initiative and may have competing priorities.
Regardless of your device or control method, you can always zoom in and out by pinching the center of the screen.
MAP
In the main "Campaign" mode, expand your territory by moving units between connected areas. You can "fortify" a held region or attempt to seize a rival's. Note: only 50% of a territory's units can travel, making offense more challenging than defense.
Inhabited territories can grow in population each round, so controlling more land is key. Units also heal gradually over time, encouraging you to rotate your focus across different fronts each turn.
PERFORMANCE
This is my most ambitious game to date in scale and may require a high-end device for optimal performance. To improve framerate, consider lowering the "Population" setting to reduce on-screen characters or adjusting other options in the "Display" menu.
There's so much more to this game than I can capture here. I hope you enjoy discovering its depths for yourself!
